Fairytale Hair and Makeup

I had Tara come to our location and she did hair for the entire wedding party, there were 9 of us total. She listened to what everyone wanted (each one was different) and we were all very happy with our hair. She is very versitile, effcient and reasonable. I would recommend her to friends.

I used Fairytale Hair and Makeup for my wedding. They did an amazing job. Very professional. I got so many complements on my Hair & makeup and my bridal party also looked amazing. And they come to you. It was so nice not to have to worry about anything that morning, just sat around and got beautified with my girls.

Fairytale Hair & Makeup is the ONLY company I trust to handle my hair (and not everyone can get curly hair right-- but they can)! Fun & professional, worth every penny! I highly recommend Fairytale Hair & Makeup to anyone looking to look fabulous for a special occasion, or any day!

Let me start off by saying how amazing my hair looked for my wedding! It was so much more than I ever expected, and I am STILL getting compliments on it from guests that were at the wedding! Tara really took her time to make sure that everyone was happy with how they looked, and even helped with things that she was not hired for! Everyone's hair was unique to them and suited them perfectly! I am so so glad that I hired her and don't know what I would have done without her!

Tara was so awesome! She arrived on time, ready to go with a smile on her face! She asked me how I wanted my hair and I only had a vague idea but she was able to translate that idea into the perfect style for my day. Not only did my hair look fantastic when she finished at 9:30am, but it also looked fantastic at 11:00pm when the reception was over! Tara also did a wonderful job with my makeup; I have never felt so beautiful or received so many compliments on my makeup (which also lasted the entire day and night)! Thank you so much, Tara!

Tara with fairytale makeup and her team did makeup for myself and hair for me, my bridal party and the moms. Tara traveled all the way from Ventura to Solvang to do our makeup and hair in our hotel room, it was a very relaxing way to start the day. If I had to do it again, I wouldn't change a thing! I had a few girls who changed their minds about how they wanted their hair done and Tara worked hard to make sure everyone was happy. I was thrilled with my makeup and may hair looked great the whole night. I would recommend Tara to anyone!

Tara was so amazing! Her hair and makeup she did for my daughter's wedding was so professional and beautifully done. She asked for my opinions, I explained what I liked best and she came through with flying colors. My hair looked amazing. I thought "so this is what its like to have your own make up and hair person". My make up was flawless and beautiful. The bride looked exquisite! Tara came from Ventura to Santa Monica on a Sunday morning, on time and was ready to rock and roll! She had a calming effect on the bridal party and I highly recommend her. Tara really made me feel like the "Mother of the Bride". A wonderful experience!!

Tara is awesome, she always answered my mails right away, she works really fast and she's a cool girl ,she was doing my hair and make up i didn't even feel a bit nervous cause we were talking about everything but the wedding, seriously if you're the kind of bride that thinks your going to freak out the day of your wedding Tara is perfect for you, she is going to make time fly cause she's lots of fun. she is professional but in a relaxed way and she doesn't make you feel like she's doing you a favor by showing up on the contrary she is very grateful. i really liked that cause some of the make up artist that i talked to were extremely full of themselves. My wedding was pretty small and she traveled from Ventura to the venue in LA ( ON A FRIDAY AT 4:00 pm) to do only my hair & make up because i didn't have bridesmaids so that shows what kind of person she is. I loved the hair and make up, she did what i was expecting and more. LOVE everything about her and her work.

Tara was amazing. She and her assistant did the hair and makeup for 3 bridesmaids, 3 jr. bridesmaids, and myself. Each one look beautiful and the styles lasted all day. We all felt like princesses. :)

Tara was great! She came by my house to do my trial hair & make-up and made sure that I loved it before she left. On the day of my wedding she showed up @ 6:30 in the morning with reinforcements to take care of my wedding party. Tara was ready to go and I don't know how so early but in a great mood. She had to deal with one of my bridesmaids that had decided not to get her hair done the night before and washed her hair. Unfortunately that morning she decided to get her hair done and it was super wet. She has thick hair with a super tight curl needless to say it was not pretty. After 4 1/2 hours of preping her hair Tara was finally able to begin to style it. This left an hour to do my hair, make-up, and get dressed before my ceremony. Tara was able to get my hair & make-up done and help me get dressed. I got to my ceremony 15 mins. late!

Tara did an amazing job. The hair and makeup were perfect and lasted all day. She came to my house for the trial and was at my hotel at 3:30 am for my early Disneyland wedding. I couldn't ask for anything more. Great Job!

Fairytale Hair & Makeup did an incredible job at giving me the EXACT LOOK I was going for. Going through the trial run was a great idea because it gave me confidence before the day of the wedding of exactly what to expect. They were completely professional and pleasant girls to work with and made my day sweeter and smoother. They made me look flawless and beautiful for my big day! I love how my photos turned out! I highly recommend to anyone who's going for the 'perfect' look on their big day! Thanks Tara!!!

To put it simply: Tara was amazing! She was incredibly professional and she did a great job on hair and makeup. She was very receptive to what I wanted (especially with the hair) and the end result was better than I had imagined. I would highly recommend any bride to be to visit the Fairytale website and see what they have to offer. The fact that Tara came to me the morning of the wedding took out a lot of stress from the day - I didn’t have to go anywhere or worry about timing, she made sure we had enough time to get everything done. The whole team at Disney Fairytale Weddings was incredible, they definitely do their research when recommending vendors and Tara did not disappoint!

Tara and her company Fairytale Hair, Makeup and Mobile Spa was tremendous. She was so flexible with her schedule, (4 day notice). She made not only look but feel beautiful on my wedding day. I have received so many compliments because she took the time. She had everything with her to get the job done! She was so friendly and just made you feel comfortable. I would highly recommend Fairytale Hair, Makeup and Mobile Spa!

I am a contestant in the 6th Annual Miss Malibu beauty pageant and each girl has to do a photoshoot prior to the contest. The photoshoot was totally last minute and Tara Fontana (founder/hair stylist/makeup) was AMAZING. Not only did she come out to do my hair and makeup when I gave her such short notice (within 24 hours!), but she was very attentive and asked what look I was aiming for and nailed it! My hair and makeup were beyond perfect- my curls even withstood the ocean wind for the photoshoot! I couldn't be happier with the results (my photos)! Thank you so much Tara for making me look and feel beautiful!!

Tara did an absolutely amazing job on my and my daughters' hair for my wedding. She was the utmost professional and by the time she was done doing our hair and my makeup, I felt like I had made a new friend! She's awesome and I would absolutely recommend her to anyone wanting and expecting a professional styling.

Tara did a great job. She was ver friendly and helpfully. Would highly recommend and would use her services again.

Tara was very fun, professional and gave me exactly what I wanted. Everything was perfect. Very reasonable. And she came to me! She came highly recommended by a friend of mine that she had done. And I will definatly be referring her people in the future.

I have never been happier with my hair since switching to you as my stylist! I LOVE MY HAIR! Since coming to you, you have found me the PERFECT hair color and you know exactly what I am asking for when I bring you a new style to cut my hair in. And now that you are doing the Brazilian Keratin Blowouts, my hair has never been better. I cannot believe the difference the blowout has made in my life. Now I can air dry my hair & leave the house pretty or if I really want to get fancy, a 5-minute blow dry with NO brush, NO straight iron. If I do say so myself, it’s GORGEOUS. J I must say, I was pretty skeptical about the whole blowout thing. It is pretty expensive, but your pricing is so much better than every other stylist I contacted. But honestly, now that I have had it done – I do not know if I can live without it! It is worth EVERY PENNY…and I will happily shout that from the rooftops to anyone that will listen!As a working Mom, it is so hard for me to find time to get my hair done. Since you can come to my home with your Mobile Salon, I can actually keep up with my hair appointments and I feel so much better about myself. Thank you for doing what you do. I am so happy I found you!On a side note, I had been loyal to my previous stylist for 10 years, and although she did a good job, I never got exactly what I wanted when I would leave her salon. Now that I have you as my stylist – I have never been happier. Thank you so much for giving me pretty hair, that I love, for the first time in my life!*~*~Happy So Cal Mommy*~*~

Melissa was great. she was very easy to talk to and very cute. Right off the bat I could tell she knew what I wanted and made my day easier. I felt completely comfortable and would totally recommend her services to anyone that needs hair and make up in Las Vegas.

Tara was fantastic. Very professional, great personality and definitely the right person for the job! She was very easy to communicate with via phone and e-mail...very prompt. The trial session answered a lot of my questions and helped me to prepare for what to expect on my big day. It was a big plus that she traveled to my wedding site. I liked being able to prepare without having to drive to a salon filled with other clients. The hair and makeup for my wedding was exactly what I had pictured. I felt beautiful and relaxed all day.

Fairytale Hair and Makeup made my planning so much easier for a "rush" wedding in Vegas. Melissa communicated promptly, she arrived on time as promised and did a great job with my flower girls, myself and even had time for my mother-in-law. I will definitely recommend their services to all my friends/family for future events. Thank you so much for your help in making my special day so much easier.

Tara, You did a phenomenal job on my hair, it was truely a masterpiece & everyone who saw it remarked on how beautiful it looked. Thank you for making me look like a princess for my wedding.

I’m very glad to have been referred to Fairytale Hair & Make-up. Tara was professional and very enjoyable. I was nervous at first having someone new style & cut my hair. But Tara gave me exactly what I had asked for. I highly recommended her and Fairytale Hair & Make-up. I know I will continue to use her and will recommended her all my friends.

I chose to use Tara from Fairytale Hair and Makeup for my hair and makeup on my wedding day based on a recommendation from a friend, and I was very happy with my choice. Tara was prompt, prepared, and could recreate just about any style. I completed a trial run with her a few months before my wedding, and would definitely recommend that other brides do this as well so that you can visualize what your hair and makeup will look like on the big day. My bridesmaids brought magazine cutouts of what they wanted for their hair, and she was able to replicate the styles for each of the girls whether it was a simple or complicated up-do. I would recommend Tara to other brides in the future.

I was married at the Flamingo Las Vegas in May and had to book vendors with no trial. Fairytale is based in CA but have offices in Vegas as well. Speakng with Tara the owner eased my concerns about not having a trial. We hired Fairytale to do hair and makeup for the myself and the entire bridal party (8 people). Because of the size of our party, they assigned us Amelia for hair and Krystle for makeup. I emailed with Amelia and Krystle about my questions, and both were wonderful and answered all my questions.When it came to the day, both girls were on time and incredibly professional. They made us feel comfortable and relaxed, and their talents were so evident. I wasn't exactly sure what I wanted for my hair, but with a few questions, Amelia had figured out what to do, and my hair turned out beyond my expectations. It fit me personally and has never looked better. All my girls were as happy as they have ever been, they looked gorgeous and felt like princesses.For makeup we had airbrush, and Krystle emailed with me about it. I was concerned it might run when I cried, but she assured me that the formula she used would not, and even with my sweat and tears, it never ran! My makeup was perfect. I didn't end up looking like a different person, but I was amazed at the transformation. I will treasure my wedding pictures in part because I looked just how I had imagined...or better. These artists were professional, courteous, talented, and confident in their abilities. I would reccommend them to my best friend, my sister, or any bride who wants to look like a princess on her special day!

I'm so glad to have been refered to Fairytale Hair & MakeUp. I was very nervous at first having someone new style & cut my hair. I've been going to the same person my whole life to get my hair cut because she is a family friend & was never excited about how she would cut my hair. I sent Fairytale Hair & Makeup an email & Tara got back to me in less than an hour & was over the following week to cut & style my hair. She had an amazing personality & was all about what I wanted to do with my hair. I was so excited after Tara was done with my hair. In the past my hair would never curl. The curls would fall out within an hour & my hair would just look like a Big POOF. Now when I curl my hair its amazing that they stay ALL day now!!

I could not have asked for more. If you're looking for someone who is a joy to have around, flexible to your needs and wants, and whose final product is amazing (not just for the bride, but also your bridesmaids/mothers), then Fairytale Hair and Makeup will satisfy. Tara showed up to get us ready for my wedding at 4am. She was prompt, awake!, and delightful. It was wonderful and starting my day off like that set the ball rolling for a fantastic wedding day!

Tara did my hair and make up along with my bridesmaids for my wedding on September 12th. She did an awesome job. Our make up lasted for over 12 hours which was very important to us. We first had a trial run with her a few months prior and she was very attentive as to how we wanted our hair and make up done. I have to admit that she's quick too. She put extensions in my hair and I let her know that I wanted "big Jersey hair" and she was able to execute that in a matter of minutes! Yes, and my hair stayed put as well. I was very impressed as my hair tends to flatten quickly and was one of my concerns with having my hair halfway up - down. My bridesmaids were happy as well. Tara is a joy to work with and will definitely use her again when I'm back in town and have a special occasion to attend. Thanks Tara - you're awesome!

Tara from Fairytale did a great job for a very reasonable price, considering that she comes to you. My wedding was in a somewhat remote location in Malibu and she came to do my bridal party's hair and my hair and makeup on site. It was a huge relief knowing that we could get everything done all together and not have to travel anywhere afterward. We all looked and felt beautiful that day thanks to Tara!

We had Tara do Hair for myself, my mom and 6 bridesmaids. She came to the location and was able to get all of our hair done in the alloted time frame. She listened to what we wanted and was able to make each of my girls happy. Many vendors charge alot for on-location service and I felt she was a good value. I would recommend her if you are tight on the budget, but want to get your hair and make -up done by someone else.

I truly loved my hair and makeup artist, Rena! She was a wonderful stylist and was so great for the trial and my day of work! Fairytale hair worked with my budget and did everything they could to make my day special. Thank you!!!

These gals did my hair and makeup for a Las Vegas Wedding. They have several locations in Ca as well as LV. I have a Rockabilly theme hair for me and my bridesmaids....I loved the 40's dos and the makeup was just flawless...I had so many compliments

I was so glad when I contacted Tara about doing my hair for my wedding. She was quick polite and did what I asked. My bridesmaids hair and my hair turned out amazing. Tara was super nice which helped calm my nerves on my wedding day and her prices were very reasonable.

I chose Tara because I liked the way she curled hair. I felt if the makeup wasn't great, I could always fix it. Tara did a great job on my sister who never wears makeup, but I was just content with my own hair and makeup. A little sloppy. It's good that she comes to your location. I was a bit upset that since she finished early on my mom and sister she charged me a waiting fee. I had been going off the assumption each person would take 1.5 hours as she stated. Anyhoo, I think she's a bit overpriced for what you get. I had to ask for lashes, which she said she'd throw in, but typically she charged for. (For the bride?) A refresher kit would've been nice. I had a shiny nose by the middle of our reception.

After failing to get one of the big named hair + makeup stylists and a bad hair trial with another person, I went with Tara. To be honest, I thought it was more important for my hair to be nice because I could always "fix" my makeup.

My sister's makeup was amazing and all she did was straighten her short Asian hair (why it cost as much as it did, I don't understand). My mom's updo was very cute. The three of us were kind of weirded out by how she did the lipstick. A little over the liplines. We weren't sure whether she was trying to give the effect of bigger lips.

I was "content" with my makeup and hair, I was a little jealous of my sister. :) Tara doesn't charge for travel, but she charged me for her waiting. I was a little taken aback by that but I paid it. [I had scheduled my day to know when exactly I was up to getting my hair and makeup done, she finished EARLY on my mom and sister].

Anyway, I personally think she should offer a refresher kit and eyelashes like others do. Her prices ended up being almost comparable to the others that are on the $$$$ side.

My hair and makeup really turned out nice. My bridesmaids had some issues with their makeup, and thought the cost was a bit much for what we got. The beautician did come to our hotel, which was really convenient and allowed us to be relaxed in our suite while each of us got made up. But she showed up without eyelash glue, so one of my attendants had to run to the store to buy some for her. Just a bit unorganized. In fact when I went to my trial appointment, she was about a half hour late. She stated that her passion is doing hair and makeup for weddings, but that passion didn't really show through in her attitude, unfortunately. During a conversation while having my trial, she all but told me she looked down on people from the city in which I live, which I thought was a bit opinionated and rude, really. I stuck with her, though, and was not unhappy with the job she did for me. Just compared to my other vendors, I was a little dissapointed.

Fairytale Hair/Makeup does AMAZING work! Tara is such a sweetheart and easy to work with. She listens and works hard to make you look beautiful and fabulous. I truly enjoyed working with her. As a photographer, she makes my job easier. All her brides look picture perfect!
